President Donald Trump is trying to turn the debate over a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border back to his political advantage as his signature pledge to American voters threatens to become a model of unfulfilled promises.
Trump will hold his first campaign rally since November's midterm elections in El Paso, Texas, on Monday as he faces a defining week for his push on the wall -- and for his presidency and his 2020 prospects. Weakened by the disastrous government shutdown and facing a fresh deadline Friday, Trump is trying to convince people that that he'll continue to push to build his long-promised wall, even though there's no way it would be anywhere near complete by the time voters have to decide whether to give him another term.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers were negotiating ahead of Friday's deadline, but on Sunday people familiar with the talks said the mood among the bargainers had grown sour. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private talks. #MAGA #Trump #TrumpElPaso

First off, we could debate whether a true ;stripper; vehicle even exists in this era of generous standard content; arguably, my Chevrolet Cruze L doesn;t even make the cut though one peek at the headliner material suggests otherwise. But I digress ...Certainly, the upcoming Nissan Leaf Plus is not the starting point of the Leaf line, but the new 62 kWh variant, with its larger battery and additional grunt, does include a modest "S " trim. And it seems the cheaper version of the long range electric hatch packs a range advantage over its pricier siblings.

President Trump has personally met with Democratic leaders over the last month, and has been urging lawmakers from both sides of the aisle to rise above partisan politics in order to support national security.

French President Emmanuel Macron has released what he calls a "letter to the French, " encouraging a national debate on issues that have led to two months of anti government protests. "This is how I intend to turn anger into solutions, " Macron said Sunday. "Your proposals will help build a new contract for the nation, organizing the actions of the government and parliament, but also France's positions at the European and international levels. " Macron plans to hold a number of town hall meetings across the country over the next eight weeks. Among the questions he is opening for debate are which taxes should be cut, what public spending should be a priority, are there too many bureaucratic layers, and questions surrounding the environment and immigration. While Macron said no topic will be off the table, the right of people to seek asylum in France will not be up for debate. "We won't agree on everything, which is normal in a democracy. But at least we'll show we're a people which is not afraid of talking, exchanging ideas , debating. " So called "yellow vest " marches erupted in France in November against a now scrapped fuel tax. But they have since expanded into a general anti government protest, especially in rural France, where many see Macron as someone more interested in the wealthy than their problems. Some of the marches have turned violent, leading to government proposals to ban anyone wearing face masks from joining in or starting their own march. The free speech group Reporters Without Borders has called on protest organizers to condemn violence against journalists covering the marches. The group says reporters have been beaten, kicked, and threatened with rape.
